Overview
When adding gases to beer, soft drinks and water, we use either pure CO2 (carbon dioxide) or a mixture of N2(nitrogen) and CO2.
What is CO2 (Carbon dioxide)?
Carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide (CO2) is a chemical compound consisting of carbon and oxygen.
CO2 is a non-flammable, colourless and odourless gas. Due to its good solubility in water, it is often mistakenly referred to as "carbonic acid".
The versatile role of carbon dioxide in beverages
Carbon dioxide is present in many beverages that we regularly consume. Carbon dioxide has a versatile role: it promotes preservation and has an oxidation-inhibiting effect, it improves flavour and aroma and gives carbonated water and other carbonated drinks their characteristic freshness and effervescence, among other things.
Carbon dioxide in beer, for example, is a very important means of maintaining the natural CO2 concentration. This ensures the flavour of the beer and an ideal foam head.
